More Fall Projects with Christa, Melinda, and Suzanne

Design team member Christa Paustenbaugh created this cute and quirky ode to candy corn - a definite symbol of fall in her house (and mine too!).  Here's what Christa had to say ... "At our house candy corn is the epitome of fall coming!  We love it!  Since that signifies fall then I had to make a layout about our love for candy corn.  I made a candy corn shaped card by layering papers, then slipped a photo inside of candy corn (that I quickly ate after the photo).  The Fresh Goods and Happy Go Lucky papers were perfect for making the candy corn and layering embellishments."

Living down under design team member Melinda Spinks is currently in the midst of spring but created this layout to showcase some fun photos of her children playing in the leaves taken this past April.  Here's what Melinda had to say ... "It's always interesting being on the other side of the world and working with different seasons as we are in the middle of our Spring here in Australia and the flowers are blossoming, the leaves are all green and there's not a sign of Autumn anywhere. So I'm quite relieved that I'd taken lots of fun photos of my kids playing in the Autumn leaves way back in April and I've been sitting on them every since ... just waiting for this moment! Now, creating a 'fall' layout doesn't necessarily mean you have to use a 'fall' collection as I've used papers from the 'Welcome Christmas' range and also 'Floral Lane' which just happens to be a Spring collection ... nothing like mixing my seasons."

Design team member Suzanne Sergi channeled her love for fall into two beautiful cards using the Fresh Goods collection.  Here's what Suzanne had to say ... "For Fall week, I decided to create a pair of cards perfect for welcoming the cooler weather. I am a big fan of Fresh Goods, and could not wait to use it on these cards. These colors are so perfect, and simply colors that I love. They are colorful, and the patterns are some of my favorites.  I am not normally a card maker, but creating with Pebbles products, makes this process so easy for me!"
